Ken,
About that time frame I remember an accelerator pump in a kit where the hole in the leather for the retaining screw on top of the brass shaft was punched off center which made one side of the "skirt" very short and the opposite side overly long. I couldn't say if it was a Carter kit or not, but it was for a Carter carb on my old 348. I also don't recall for sure what I did to resolve the issue but your comment triggered the memory.
